Why Is Abu Said Gorgani Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Abu Sa'id al-Dharir al-Jurjani , also Gurgani, was a 9th-century Persian mathematician and astronomer from Gurgan, Iran. He wrote a treatise on geometrical problems and another on the drawing of the meridian. George Sarton considers him a pupil of Ibn al-A'rabi, but Carl Brockelmann rejects this opinion.
